Starship Troopers (1997)
Was this movie supposed to suck?
I'm still trying to figure this out. The bugs were pretty horribly done, particularly the brain bug. There is obviously no way it could move without CGI. And the shots with the huge armies of bugs were ludicrous.
Don't get me started on the dialogue. This movie features some of the worst I've seen in any movie ever. The action is overly violent, as if they realized they'd need something to distract the audience from the rest of the movie. The same goes for the gratuitous nudity.
Still, I did like Neil Patrick Harris's character and the news services they cut to.
I'd say don't spend any money on this movie. Get someone else to rent it, or download it from somewhere. It's a good Saturday night B-movie and a pizza type film.
Enter the Matrix (2003)
Gameplay sucks, but clips worthwhile
Ok, first off I'm going to say that I got this game free, legally I might add. I was able to get a full rebate from Amazon a while back. And I'm also going to say that I'm glad I didn't end up paying for this. The gameplay was pretty bad, the graphics weren't much better, and the AI was absolutely atrocious. In the driving portions, when you weren't driving, you were lucky to get to the end in one piece. Another thing: square tires are bad; zooming in on clearly square tires is worse. Sure, you could do Focus moves, and they were cool, but they were also useless for the most part. You regenerated health fast enough that you could take a few hits while just running around killing everyone with no real negative effects.
That said, the extra footage/plot info was great. I really feel most of the dialogue in this game was better than could be found in the movies. I really wish Sparks and Ghost had been allowed some character development in the actual movies, Sparks in particular. And it was nifty seeing the Trainman reappear in the movie.
In the end, I'd recommend this game to any, at least slightly serious Matrix fan. But if you're looking for a good game, look elsewhere.
